Multisession Workstations

Press F1 for bash, F2 for Windows, F3 for Ubuntu, F4 for Mac OS and F5 for Citrix. Linux makes it all possible, and you don't even need a hard drive!

Controlling Session Access

LTSP also lets you provide settings for groups or workstations
or for individual workstations, identified by IP address, MAC address or hostname.

For further technical information on the project, go to the LTSP Wiki,
and if you get a chance, please support the project with a small donation.
